[Magdalen] home made multi grain bread?

[Susan Hagen]

I actually have to rig an incubator.  I used to use a heating pad and
bath towels but the old one died and the new ones all have automatic
shut off switches.  Now I have a yogurt maker that has a flat round
heating element with a plastic dome.
